Seeking any information to help document the family of a Paul RAPH, who died 3 March 1896 in Pottawattamie County, Iowa at the age of 76 years. Death record indicates he was buried in Shenandoah, in Page County, Iowa. I would like to find if his grave is marked and if so what information appears on the stone? Also, are other RAPH family member buried there?
I checked the Rose Hill Cemetery, Shenandoah, IA. 69 page index and found no RAPH Family members buried there. Also checked All Page Co., Cemeteries and no RAPH in my index. ..prs

After his death, Dora Bell (OXLEY) RAWLINGS married a Al ROTH. My family has possession of a ROTH family Bible, however there are very few dates listed in it. I would like to know who are the parents of Albert RAWLINGS, did he have any siblings, and is there any Native American in this line? I would also like to share information and/or correspond with any descendants. Posted: 14 Feb. 1997

The ancestors that I am researching in Page and Fremont counties are a family of Reids and Babcocks from Morton Township. The Henry Reid clan (Brothers William and John C. and sister Mary Ann Edwards) came to Page county from Muscatine county around 1873 and 1880. Most of the next generation moved to Plymouth county, Sioux City, and to Dixon county, NE.
I have frequented the facilities in the Shenandoah library, Clarinda Library, Court House and the Museum in Clarinda, and have found a wealth of information since January this year. I have tracked about 5 different Reid and Reed families from the area. And connected three of them Henry's, John C's, and William's. Also the William J. Edwards clan, Mary Ann Reid's husband.

I have been on the Web and found your very attractive and useful site for Page Co, Iowa.
I have been interested in Garfield A. Reutter a "missing" brother of my grandfather. The only information I have picked up on him is that his birth probably was Jan. 1884 and he died (possibly in 1952) and is buried in Blanchard, Iowa. I note that you have a hard copy of the Blanchard Cemetery (which I assume is the main/only cemetery in Blanchard). Can you tell me if he and any of his family are in this cemetery?
I noted that Pat O'Dell is also interested in this county and I will also contact her
. Thank you very much for any assistance you can give me.

Dear Paul,
Hello, I'am searching for my grand mothers grave. A long story, but because she died in the clarinda treatment center in 1942 the information is slow to come in. Her name was Dorothy Gates Ribbey, born in 1902. I have a lot number (source unknown), but no cemetary name.The lot number is sec. E lot 41- thats probably no help to you eather. Any information would be helpful. I wouldn't mind helping out on a geneology project , but i don't know where to start.
